Col. Robert E. Lee joins the CSA 150 years ago today

Today in U.S. Civil War History ^ | 1/3/2011 | on this day

1861 - Colonel Robert E. Lee resigned from the U.S. Army. Two days earlier he had been offered command of the Union army.

He's also a traitor and a loser.

Robert E. Lee was ahead of his time. As these two maps show, the "losers" are most certainly not the states of Dixieland. Freedom and liberty are cherished in the South where RIGHT TO WORK has triumphed. It's the north where the modern-day slavery of forced unionism exists nowadays with extortion paid to labor bosses.

I'll also add that the South is a reliable region in terms of voting for Constitutional Conservatives, going against the liberalism of the rest of the country by standing up for Barry Goldwater in 1964:

Introducing first: fighting out of the blue corner, these two transgendered neo-yankee are hair pulling style fighters. Both weigh in at " get off me, fat ass. " They hold a record of 1 win and 0 losses, with thousands of no shows.

Fighting out of the Grey corner, this son of the South is the current, reigning, and defending Champion of Southern Independence. He has no record, but that of his fathers before him.

Ready for round two? Ding! Ding!

“You should shut up...”

If you are going to quote me and tell me to shut up, it might be nice if you could actually quote me correctly and not attribute a quote to me that was not mine to begin with.

You have homosexual thoughts about Lincoln? You really should keep them to yourself ;-)

Lost Causers will readily sleep with the raggiest of curs if they believe it will advance their agenda.

WITH A REBEL YELL!

One of the greatest leaders this country has ever known joins the Army of the last great republic on earth.

Odd thing on these threads is that so many don't understand what a REPUBLIC is! We don't have one now, and haven't had one since the Tyrant, ol' dishonest himself, ascended his throne.

FREE DIXIE!

END THE OCCUPATION!

NO MORE MULE TIT REPUBLICANS!

Great pictures of Marse Robert. Who is the painter?

I apologize for that remark..I was wrong!!!
It truly is not the way we debate here at FR
Again I was totally wrong and I am sorry!

[Lees Swrd]

To bad we aint like they was in those days I think a few duels would shut a lot of these people up.

Praise God for Lincoln.
Like all good Democrats, lib southerners blame Lincoln for all of the things that Jeff Davis did.

We cannot judge Lincoln. Who knows what he would have done after the war ended. He said that he would do anything to preserve the union. We did not have the chance to see what he would have done after the war was over. Would he have restrained the federal giant that he used to save the union. Don’t know. Booth prevented us from ever knowing.

Denial is an ugly thing. If you think this article is fantasy then you are mentally ill.

[central_va]

You should shut up...

You should KMA.

[central_va]

Most RINOs and DemonRats wouldn’t know what a real republic is if it bit ‘em on the arse.

"Denial is an ugly thing. If you think this article is fantasy then you are mentally ill."

Bias can be an ugly thing too. Would you like to read Sherman's account of what happened in the Columbia?

Where did those prints come from, i.e. is there a website where they can be purchased?

Thanks for the post Deo.

While a student at Gettysburg College, I dated a gal that lived about 100 yards from it.

Did you ever visit it?
